During one of our summers in Virginia, a home’s air conditioner will receive a serious workout. An AC here has to deal not only with overcoming high heat but also high humidity. (Although you can have a special dehumidifier integrated into your HVAC system to assist with this.) All this stress can lead to an air conditioner that needs repairs to keep it running effectively and efficiently.

A good storage tank water heater that received a professional installation should last you more than a decade without any significant loss of heating power or hot water volume. You may need to schedule an occasional repair for it, however, and you must remember to arrange for an annual inspection and tune-up from a professional.

If you are concerned as a homeowner about the health quality of your indoor air, one of the best options available to you is the installation of mechanical air filters. These filters trap pollutants moving through your HVAC system. If professionally chosen and installed, an air filter can eliminate more than 99% of the irritants in the air, resulting in a much healthier indoors.
